1) The Goonies – Long before Will Byers (Noah Schnapp) vanished, Mikey Walsh (Sean Astin) and his own gang of kooky friends set out to find the pirate One-Eyed Willie’s lost treasure! They encounter booby traps, a family of small-time crooks and one lovable deformed strongman named “Sloth” along the way! Never has Astoria, Oregon looked so exciting! Did we mention that teenage Josh Brolin plays Mikey’s studly jock brother? If you haven’t seen this one, it definitely needs to be added to your list!

2) E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial – It’s the story of an adorable alien who’s lost on planet Earth.

There’s just one problem: the government is looking for E.T. for very insidious reasons! So it’s up to Elliott and his pack of pals to help the iconic alien find his way home! If this movie doesn’t give you serious Stranger Things vibes than we don’t know what will!

3) Poltergeist – You know how hauntings work, but what about poltergeists? Well in this case, it starts out with the Freeling’s adorable daughter Carol Anne (Heather O’Rourke) having bizarre conversations with the television. Then furniture starts moving on its own! Things really come to a head when Carol Anne disappears without a trace during a tornado! But here’s the catch: the family can still hear her voice faintly through the TV! What follows is a desperate struggle to find out why their home is populated with so many spirits and how they can get their daughter back!

5) Jaws – This classic movie is the stuff of nightmares! A giant, murderous shark decides to start feeding on swimmers who dare to go in the water off Amity Island! It’s up to Chief Brody (Roy Scheider) and Matt Hooper (Richard Dreyfuss) to somehow find a way to stop this killing machine!
